Dear Wounded Warrior Project,
On January 4th and February 7th the
Lake Placid and Saranac Lake High School hockey teams competed in games that
benefited the Wounded Warrior Project.
Players from these rival teams solicited jersey sponsors that earned the
WWP nearly $1000. Furthermore, the gate
admission from both games was donated to the WWP. This was especially generous by our schools
and communities because that gate usually benefits the Lake Placid High School
Varsity Club and the Saranac Lake Youth Hockey Association. Lastly, we sold t-shirts at the event which
raised approximately $400 and collected other donations from community members.
Enclosed with this letter are two checks with the overall
sum total of $3,070. The communities of Lake Placid and Saranac
Lake were key in contributing to these Wounded Warrior events and both our
teams were proud to have raised money for such a vital cause. Having these shared events between our two
teams was a great opportunity and we only hope the money will help returning
soldiers from combat. It was also our
hope that we raised awareness to the Wounded Warrior Project and its several
functions.
Sincerely,
Keith Clark & Will Ellsworth
Head Hockey Coaches
